General Information

Expanded Metal Terms

LWM Long Way Measurement. Dimension taken from the centre of one

knuckle to the centre of the adjoining knuckle, measured along the long way

of the diamond/profile (see diagrams).

SWM Short Way Measurement. Dimension taken from the centre of one

knuckle to the centre of the adjoining knuckle, measured along the short way

of the diamond/profile (see diagrams).

Strands & Knuckles Expanded metal is made up of strands & knuckles.

Strands form the sides of the expanded metal opening and the knuckle is the

intersection of two strands.

Thickness The thickness of the parent sheet metal, which remains unchanged

during the expanding process.

Sheet Direction LWM x SWM (see diagrams below).

Tolerances

All measurements specified are

nominal and approximates only.

Although every effort is made to

ensure these dimensions are accurate,

they are subject to standard industrial

manufacturing tolerances.

Finishes

Hot-Dip Galvanised:NEPEANBuilding & Infrastructure has its

own in-house galvanising plant,

providing a 24-hour service. The hot-

dip galvanising process produces a

durable, abrasion-resistant coating of

metallic zinc and zinc-iron alloy layers

metallurgically bonded to the steel

base. This finish is not recommended

for fine meshes, as they are prone to

distortion and windowing effects.

Hot-dip galvanising conforms to AS/NZS4680:1999.

Fabricating Expanded Metal

Conventional sheet metal working

techniques are used for fabricating

expanded metal, including cutting,

bending and welding.

Non-standard Products

We have provided many special-

purpose expanded metals to suit

unique applications. If you have a

requirement that is not covered in

this catalogue, please contact your

nearest sales office (details on back

cover) for further information.

Notes

1. The above tables are based on the XPM Expanded

Metal Industry Standard 1001.

2.Load capacities given in the table are for

Flormesh spanning the LWM direction over a

clear span with every fourth strand welded to

the support and a minimum landing of 25mm

(preferred industry standard).

3.Uniform distributed load is the maximum

load just prior to permanent deflection (yield) of

mesh. Permanent yield is span/500 or 0.80mm,

whichever is greater.

4.Deflections in the tables refer to uniform

distributed loads causing a deflection of 10mm or

span/360, whichever is less.

5.Concentrated loads were applied through a

100mm diameter plate. T hey correspond to a

localised deflection of 10mm.

6.For large simple spans the load carrying capacity

is generally governed by deflection; for double and

triple spans by uniform or concentrated loads.

7.A load of 102kg approximates to 1kN. A load of

102 kg/m2 approximates to 1 kPa.
